Not likely.Maybe some of the tenant acquired their own washers and are using them for cleaning but your dryer for drying.Get a security camera and mount it in the area and post signs saying the same.

I realize that I will need a W2 to make get a mortgage, so I was considering picking up a couple of part time, flexible jobs in order to hopefully acquire a new property as an STR.

If you use BP more, you will be able to acquire more real estate connections and therefore, more real estate?

I'm curious, what worked for you when acquiring your first two deals? 

It seems that often when companies acquire large books of business in one shot there are growing pains and unfortunately those are felt at the client level.

I have a client in KC that has acquired 45 SFRs and is just now looking to buy MF properties.Two of the biggest things to consider when buying a commercial property (5+) versus a 1-4 MF is cost (e.g., the appraisal for 5+ is at least $2k-$3k) and the financing structure by lenders because Fannie/Freddie don't generally buy loans for commercial properties.So, for you personally, the biggest driver for the type of your next property is probably going to be the amount of a down payment/equity you can put in the property.

Is acquiring a new primary residence and renting your current home feasible?
